From Behind the Lens to Behind the Mic

This week on the 10forty Podcast, we’re joined by Ben O’Neill — founder of Ben O’Neill Productions.

Usually, Ben is the one behind the camera…

but this week, he steps in front of it.

Ben’s journey is built on backing himself — in an industry that doesn’t wait for anyone.

From early on, he was focused on pushing beyond what felt possible — especially in a space where, at times, it can feel like Ireland puts a ceiling on how far you can go.

That mindset took him further.

Even to filming YouTube content in New York — chasing opportunities instead of waiting for them.

In this episode, we talk about:

Taking risks and betting on yourself

Growing by stepping into different areas of media

Why learning styles don’t always fit the system

And what it actually takes to build experience from the ground up

This is a conversation about doing the work, learning as you go, and not waiting for permission.

Because sometimes, the only way forward…

is to start and figure it out along the way.
